Research: Realising the possibilities in the cloud: the need for a trusted broker

Why do enterprises continue to 'play it safe' with cloud? Latest research shows that nine out of ten European enterprises have benefited from their cloud investments, yet they prefer tactical quick wins over high-impact cloud-led business transformation projects. What is it that's stopping businesses being more innovative with their cloud plans?

All has been revealed in an extensive study of the cloud experiences and plans of over 1,000 European enterprises, conducted by leading analyst Ovum and sponsored by BT and Cisco.

Finding from our research, Realising the possibilities in thecloud: the need for a trusted broker, indicate that eight out of ten ICT budget holders believe cloud computing will play a critical role in solving their organisation’s business challenges versus less than half of implementers. Although enterprise cloud users are benefiting from their investment in cloud computing the majority are playing it safe, preferring tactical quick wins over cloud-led business transformation projects.
